Througli the kinduess of Mr. Reid in taking stock of the 

 Library, on the 14th Dec, 18S7, for the second time during the 

 past year, the Librarian is able to report that none of the 

 books are missing. Eleven Books were out on loan at the above 

 mentioned date. The number borrowed during the year is 

 about the same as last year, and gives good evidence that the 

 value of the Library is well appreciated by the members. The 

 regulation, which had been in force during the year, limiting 

 the time a borrower shall hold a book without returning it to the 

 Library, lias operated well, preventing much inconvenience and 

 preserving the propert}'. 



The Periodical Literature is much used for reference, and 

 as this purpose is a particular value in such a Library, it would 

 be very desirable, if possible, either by gifts or purchase, to 

 complete the serial Avorks in the Library. With this view a list 

 of the imperfect sets is added, and it might be well to publish 

 it in the next Report, intimating to Members that any con- 

 tributions they can make towards completing the series will 

 add to the strength of the Library and be gratefully received.
